Visitors from Ohio? Bikers?

Two of these strollers in the center of Northampton are wearing T-shirts from a motorcycle dealer in Ohio (A.D. Farrow Co., which I've found claims to be the oldest Harley-Davidson dealer in the United States). I took one impulse shot from behind, and did not talk to them--so anything more is speculation (I suspect at least that they probably didn't bike all the way from from Ohio!).

We're just down from the town's main intersection, looking northwest on Bridge St. (Rt. 9, which leads to the Connecticut River and the bridge to Amherst). In the middle distance is a railroad underpass with just 11 ft (3.4 meters) clearance; despite warning signs on the approach, at least once a year trucks (lorries) too high to pass get hung up with a crash!
